She was asked by one young fan whether Dumbledore finds "true love."
"Dumbledore is gay," the author responded to gasps and applause.
Cause gay people can't find true love or something? Though overall I think this is pretty exciting, and seems very intentional and fearless on Rowling's part, I'm also a lot disappointed that Dumbledore's love for the evil wizard Gellert Grindelwald is so tragic. Rowling even calls it that.Another tragic pop culture queer love affair. Cause we needed more of those.
